Misinterpretation risks of climate change information on internet by Baltic Sea Region languages
ENAccording to the latest Eurobarometer (2017) Climate Change report, climate change (CC) is now seen as the third most serious global problem, after poverty, hunger and lack of drinking water (28 %) and international terrorism (24 %). Around one in ten EU citizens (12 %) consider climate change to be the single most serious problem facing the world as a whole and more than four in ten (43 %) see climate change as one of the most serious global problems. Moreover, CC is one of the major topics discussed all over the world and the internet is one of the best communication platforms and sources of initial and basic information in specific climate change fields (Anderson 2009). However, the internet is an open space of fake news and spread misinterpretation to thrive online (Gu et al. 2017). Some analysis on communication about climate change in the internet media sources already present (Greer & Mensing 2006, Jančevskaitė & Telešienė 2013). Clearly, communication on climate change is only part of the picture. Raising awareness and discussing an issue does not directly result in behaviour change or policy action. Other factors, especially policy options, windows, and barriers, come into play (Moser & Dilling 2012) [p. 59].
